I don't own Poser or max or maya or hash or TS, etc. Been pretty much a Bryce only guy (except for freeware). There's a lot of power to Bryce for those who want to dig in and learn it. If you want a free modeler that has a great metaball tool, check out my tut at http://www.annsartgallery.com/donut.html which has links. I found that with Metasequoia one can smooth mesh, move the position of arms and legs, etc. So downloaded models from 3dcafe, etc, can be highly modified and then used in Bryce. I'm always appreciative of Bryce only images and animations. Just getting started with animations. Have one up at my site. Hope to do more.
